TTC Thread 13.................Still send babydust our way please

[Tania2]

Well girls here is another thread.
Lets hope it brings us as much luck as 10 did to all our friends that graduated it.
Love Tan Tan

Hello - I'm another one sneaking a peak when I should be snoozing.

Welcome Irish Lass - can't answer your question but have you spoken to you Dr? Lots of babydust to you.

Sounds promising Mariella - do you remember feeling like this with your other pgs?

I'm CD26 (35 day cycle) so still walking swiftly passed the chemists to stop myself obsessively testing I'm a hopeless case...

boobs very heavy tonight but could just as easily be pre-menstrual. Annoyingly similar symptoms

Hi girls. hate having daylight savings now that iam 11 hours in front of you guys i miss all the great chats of the evening. Its just too hard for me to get on the pc in the morning as ds wants b/fast etc. never mind.
Nikki & IrishLass Big Welcome to ya gals!!!
Bonkerz Hope you get BFP on the w/end
Jeddah sorry about the BFN hope you are well dont seem to get to chat to ya latley.
Twiga dont forget me iam 27 too.
Munnzie that lunar phase thing i was trying to explain last week my natrapath told me about it cause i had ov twice last month shit ya think i would have been in for more of a chance last month then BUGGER
Bibi is starflower like evening primrose cause i was told to take evening primrose to increase cm and gee has it worked!!!
Does anyone know if evening primrose is ok to take if you pg in the early stages b4 you get a +ive?

Just found the stats thread and posted my stats. What a great idea.

Question for ya girls...i had the EWCM on CD8 (first time in months) been bding every 2nd day since then. Had no CM yesterday then today i have CM again. When would i have oved if i go by my cm. i have a 25-26 day cycle.

Af arrived today with avengence! now feeling silly that i listened to dh at all!! Oh well will have to start all over again! Af is 2 days early which is strange!

lol Tania, I find it all to confusin my self, will start doing the ov testing again this month, (sighs will be happy just to get a positive OV test!) lol. AF is due tomorrow. Sorry about AF for u bonkers. Don't worry just enjoy all the extra fun you'll have! (he he he) off we go again eh! lol.

Tania, does evening primrose also increase the chances for OV or just CM?

Star flower oil i miagion you can buy from holland and barrets?? what do u mean by o bibi?? your full cycle? Mine's already 26 days so don't want it any shorter!

Mariella - My nan swears she could tell the day after conception as she was sick from that day right until about 4 months and couldn't eat a thing. So u never know.

Isn't it amazing the family storys you get told when people find out you are TTC! lol.

So sorry bonkerz

Tania - I read somewhere (probably on Mumsnet!) that you should take evening primrose oil in teh first half of your cycle only; i.e. up to ov.

Bonkerz sorry about AF
Munnzie Not sure if it increase the chance of ov but the more cm you have the higher chance you have of conception around ov.
Hester thanks i will have to do a google search on it or call my natrapath.

Morning all . Hi Tania, had a quick look at your stats, unfortunately we can't feel quite as smug as I thought, MunzieB is only 22 !

bonkerz, sorry to hear af arrived {{{hug}}} x

Welcome IrishLass, can't answer your question (someone will though) but wish you all the very best for this coming month ++++++++++++++++++++*+

Well, have decided to try and relax a bit this month, have resigned myself to the fact that cycle may still be screwy after mc and won't panic if late this month (might need some help with that one). Have worked out via babycentre.com that I should ovulate somewhere between the 7th and 19th depending on how long/short my cycle is (29-37 days). Dh reckons we need to not worry so much about dates etc, so the dancing has begun already and we'll try as and when (both sitll mindful of possible dates). Dh on nights for the next week which is fine, we'll work around it - getting breakfast in bed this morning, what a sweetie!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*+++++ baby dust to everyone x

morning all,

welcome to the newbies!
((hugs)) bonkerz- thnik i might join u in a glass of win and large bar of chocolate and my temps took a huge dip today. Still a small glimmer of hope due to being over the coverline but not feeling hopeful anymore .

Tania- you should stop taking EP at ovulation time as you are not supposed to take it in pregnancy- I did the same with angus castus last time...only up to Ov.

oh well..better go sort ds out.

Bad luck bonkerz! Feel for you! Maybe next month!

Hello ladies - just got back from Scotland, what a boring week away from MN! Not got time to read through the millions of messages you have no doubt sent since I was last here - so anything I should know?? Any BFPs????

Nothing new to report with me, had my blood test on Friday which has left me looking like a junky - nice. Get my results on Monday so all fingers crossed for Clomid please girlies!

AF is subsiding which is nice. My last af was horrendous and lasted days and days. This one started with a slight show Monday late night, heavy Tues & Weds and is disipating today. Hopefully more regular cycles will reduce the discomfort and flooding (and will also give me genuine chances to go the natural route!). DP is full on excited, I've not seen him THIS into the whole thing! Bless him (he has 3 kids that his evil ex won't let him see) ... I am also quite excited (slight understatement)!

One question though, this time and the last af I had I have had period pains (like you get before af starts) starting on the 3rd day (like today). Anyone else experienced this?

I get that BeckiF, sort of feels the wrong way round but nothing to worry about I am sure!

Twiga if you start to panic we are all here to pull you back into line
Geordie i thought i should stop the EPO after ov but iam not totally convenced that i have oved yet. I asked the question earlier. Even thou iam using the ov kit and i did get ferns iam scared to trust it and want to trust my own body cm.
Does anyone know the answer to my question??
Runtus fingers crossed for you for the clomid.

Nightmare - I think I've missed my best bding time this month! I'm on CD11 and my temp went up a little yesterday, but this morning it has shot up. I wanted to bd last night but dh was knackered and I didn't want to hassle him as he's still not 100%. Should have done it anyway. So I think I am OVing today (same day as my weird cycle last month, even though TCOYF seems to think I won't OV until Sunday.) I guess I have a shot today and tomorrow, but I really wanted to go mad this month and nail that egg.

Good night girls will try as hard as i can to catch up with you all in the morning but dont think i will have much time to chat as we have Toddler kindy at 9:15.
Hope someone can answer my question from earlier. dont think i have the energy tonight to bd and dh is asleep anyway that will be 2 nights in a row that we have not bd but so far we have bd every sencond night since af finished.
Hope everyone is well.

Hi Tania

Sorry I can't anwer your question - v. ignorant about all that stuff

though have a feeling I might soon become an expert! Sure someone else will know though.

Sleep well.

bonkez so sorry matey

twiga me and my dh are trying the relaxed approach as well this month!

runtus fingers crossed for blood tests!

Tania sorry that we haven't chatted for a while I have been feeling very hormonal...think I am coming up to ov.....so I am listening to my body a bit more. In answer to your question ....it is poss to ov twice in one month......with the 2 lots of EWCM....I agree it is very confusing....but go with your gut instincts about your body ans If you are checking your ferns...this may help aswell. Remember what my dh said to me this month...just bd regulary for the first 2/3 of cycle and cover all poss of ov!!!!!! (thought he just wanted loads of bd!...... but he does have a point!!)

wilbur.......temps can go up for many reasons so you still may be ok! keep temping and see what it does over the next few days.....ALL IS NOT LOST!! any EWCM????????

WHOS COMING UP FOR TESTING THIS WEEKEND????? we need some BFPs

Hi everyone - really busy week at work so zero time to chat! DD under the weather too so evenings have been taken up with her and watching Come Dancing which bizzarely is her new favourite! Must be Aled Jones in his lycra although was glad to see the back of Carol Vorderman!!! anyway I digress ....!

Jeddah - sorry you've been down honey! Know what you mean! I've succumbed to useing the damn OPKs and apart from weeing on my hand no joy there!!! DH is delighted with the amount of bed activity! although I'm starting to look like John Wayne! Feel sure I'm getting close to OVing though and typically have just got roped into babysitting for my sister in law tonight and it will be a late one ....not sure how up for it I will be!!

BUT am trying to keep calm and relaxed about it ....

Hope everyone else is OK! Will try and chat more regularly tomorrow!! xxx

am worried now cos af is REALLY heavy and have really bad stomach cramps! this is not normal for me!

afternoon all,

My god i'm pissed off (scuse the language!) work... who'd have it??? right i've just been to boots to get the OPK, i've bought teo type the clear blue digital and also one called on call from wilkos, I've only bought two as last month one lot said i was OV but the clear blue said I wasn't, but then again I did have two identical lines... could the clear blue be too light, and although the prog. levels are low, it's not low enough for teh dr to say i'm def not OV, bu not high enough to say def am. God it's stressful being a woman! lol.

Any how i'm also now armed with the starflower oil. so that with that the pregnacare and angus catus hopefully that should manage to change some results! lol.

I was planning on taking them all thru my cycle as DH isn't home till jan, so they will be fully into my system by then, then I was going to do the whole not after OV for all ecept the Pregnacare. Do you think this will be OK or should i just do up until OV even thou I know for certain I'm not going to get a BFP? also, will the other two not come out of your system if you have a break in it?

Any how thanks for reading me moaning!

Bonkerz - coult it be a miscarriage ?
I don't know if doing a pregnancy test would help determine that.... amyone knows?
